My Top 7 Scrunchie Affirmations

CW: Eating Disorders

My old roommate Emily used to fan herself with her exam books to “osmosis the information into her head”.

When I was told to come up with some positive statements and affirmations for myself, I wasn’t sure quite where to write them. I needed somewhere where they could be instantly available, constantly comforting, a friendly reminder that things were somehow, at some point, going to be okay. So where better than a scrunchie to “osmosis” into my head?

I thought I’d share with you 7 of my favourite scrunchie affirmations:No matter what you ate yesterday, you still have to eat today.I am a lightly dusted croissantBelieve in youI am safe. That is enough. I am a majestic camel.I do not need to earn the right to eat. I am doing the right thing.

Some of those are self explanatory, some of those are near unexplainable, but whatever helps you through the day is perfectly okay and perfectly valid.
